Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink-jet printing cloth and an ink-jet printing process making use of the cloth.
  • it relates to an ink-jet printing cloth composed mainly of nylon fibers, which is excellent in conveyability and capable of providing bright and fine patterns with high color development upon formation of a print image by an ink-jet system, an ink-jet printing process making use of the cloth, and prints provided by this process.
  • textile printing is principally conducted by screen printing or roller printing. Both methods requires to form a plate, and are hence unfit for multi-kind small-quantity production and difficult to quickly cope with the fashion of the day. Therefore, there has recently been a demand for development of an electronic printing system making no use of any plate. In compliance with this demand, many textile printing processes according to ink-jet recording have been proposed. Various fields expect much from such textile printing processes.
  • the cloth has heretofore been subjected to a pretreatment in advance, thereby coping with these requirements.
  • Cloths having an ink-receiving layer have been proposed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-53492.
  • the conveyability of cloth may become rather deteriorated by the pretreatment in some cases.
  • the conveyability of ink-jet printing cloths composed mainly of nylon fibers is greatly influenced by the basic properties of the cloths themselves.
  • an ink-jet printing cloth composed mainly of nylon fibers, wherein the cloth has a water content of 10 to 110 %, and comprises nylon yarn having an average thickness of 20 to 100 deniers composed of nylon fibers having an average thickness of 1 to 10 deniers.
  • an ink-jet printing process comprising applying an ink to a cloth by an ink-jet system, subjecting the cloth to a dyeing treatment and then washing the cloth thus treated, wherein said cloth is the cloth described above.
  • Fig. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a head of an ink-jet recording apparatus.
  • Fig. 2 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the head of the ink-jet recording apparatus.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the appearance of a multi-head which is an array of such heads as shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an illustrative ink-jet recording apparatus.
  • Ink-jet printing in which an ink markedly low in viscosity compared with the conventional printing pastes is used, and an image is formed by dot expression of this ink, has extremely many limitations on physical conditions of cloth compared with other textile printing processes. This influence is particularly great in cloths composed mainly of nylon fibers.
  • the present inventors have carried out improvement in ink-jet printing cloths composed mainly of nylon fibers with a view toward allowing them to satisfy the various performance characteristics as described above at the same time.
  • various characteristics or properties of the cloth such as coloring ability, color yield, fixing ability, susceptibility to feathering and conveyability can be improved to a marked extent.
  • the ink-jet printing cloth according to the present invention is composed mainly of nylon fibers.
  • the cloth is characterized in that it has a water content of 10 to 110 % and comprises nylon yarn having an average thickness of 20 to 100 deniers composed of the nylon fibers having an average thickness of 1 to 10 deniers.
  • the cloth according to the present invention is composed mainly of the nylon yarn.
  • Nylon is a synthetic fiber having peptide linkages.
  • Nylon yarn is high in tensile strength, abrasion resistance and bending strength and excellent in recovery from elongation. Further, it is a fiber low in Young's modulus and soft, and is hence also suitable for knitted articles. It is also good in dyeing properties.
  • the nylon fibers are synthesized by the ring opening polymerization of a lactam or the condensation polymerization of a diamine and a carboxylic acid.
  • Those particularly useful in the practice of the present invention are two of nylon 6 obtained by the ring opening polymerization of ⁇ -caprolactam and nylon 66 obtained by the condensation polymerization of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, to which, however, are not limited.
  • Several of these monofilaments are doubled as necessary for the application intended to form nylon yarn having a thickness required.
  • printing cloths mean woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, knitted fabrics, felted fabrics and the like composed principally of nylon yarn. It goes without saying that the cloth is preferably formed of nylon fibers alone. However, blended woven fabrics or nonwoven fabrics of nylon fibers and one or more other materials, for example, rayon, silk, cotton, acetate and polyurethane may also be used as ink-jet printing cloths in the present invention so long as they contain nylon fibers at a blending ratio of at least 30 %, preferably at least 50 %.
  • the water content in the cloth which characterizes the ink-jet printing cloth according to the present invention, falls within a range of from 10 to 110 %, preferably from 10 to 90 %, more preferably from 10 to 70 %. If the water content is less than 10 %, disadvantages arise from the viewpoints of coloring ability and color yield. If the water content exceeds 110 % on the other hand, problems are offered from the viewpoints of conveyability and particularly, susceptibility to feathering. It is not hence preferable to contain water outside the above range.
  • the average thickness of the nylon fibers is controlled to 1 to 10 deniers, preferably 2 to 6 deniers as characteristics of the fibers themselves.
  • the average thickness of the nylon yarn formed of the nylon fibers is also controlled to 20 to 100 deniers, preferably 25 to 80 deniers, more preferably 30 to 70 deniers.
  • the nylon yarn may be formed into a cloth by any conventional method to use it in the present invention.
  • any pretreatment routinely used may be subjected on the above-described ink-jet printing cloths of this invention as needed.
  • those containing at least one substance selected from the group consisting of urea, water-soluble metal salts and water-soluble polymers in a proportion of 0.01 to 20 % by weight may preferably be used.
  • water-soluble polymers may include natural water-soluble polymers such as, for example, starches from corn, wheat and the like, cellulosics such as carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, polysaccharides such as sodium alginate, gum arabic, locust bean gum, tragacanth gum, guar gum and tamarind seed, proteins such as gelatin and casein, tannin and derivatives thereof, and lignin and derivatives thereof.
  • natural water-soluble polymers such as, for example, starches from corn, wheat and the like, cellulosics such as carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, polysaccharides such as sodium alginate, gum arabic, locust bean gum, tragacanth gum, guar gum and tamarind seed, proteins such as gelatin and casein, tannin and derivatives thereof, and lignin and derivatives thereof.
  • Examples of synthetic polymers may include polyvinyl alcohol type compounds, polyethylene oxide type compounds, water-soluble acrylic polymers, water-soluble maleic anhydride polymers and the like. Of these, the polysaccharide polymers and cellulose polymers are preferred.
  • water-soluble metal salts may include compounds such as halides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, which form typical ionic crystals, and have a pH of 4 to 10.
  • Representative examples of such compounds may include NaCl, Na2SO4, KCl and CH3COONa for alkali metals, and CaCl2 and MgCl2 for alkaline earth metals. Of these, salts of Na, K and Ca are preferred.
  • dyes used in the present invention may include acid dyes, 2:1 metal complex dyes, direct dyes, reactive dyes, acid mordant dyes, vat dyes, solubilized vat dyes, disperse dyes, etc.
  • acid dyes, reactive dyes and direct dyes are particularly preferably used. These dyes may be used either singly or in any combination thereof. They may also be used as a mixture of dyes different in hue.
  • the total amount of these dyes to be used is generally within a range of from 2 to 25 % by weight, preferably from 3 to 20 % by weight, more preferably from 3 to 15 % by weight based on the total weight of the ink. Any amounts less than 2 % by weight result in an ink insufficient in density of developed color. On the other hand, any amounts exceeding 25 % by weight result in an ink insufficient in ejection properties.
  • chloride ions and/or sulfate ions may be added to the ink used in the process of this invention in a proportion of about 10 to 20,000 ppm based on the dye(s) contained in the ink, and at least one substance selected from the group consisting of silicon, iron, nickel and zinc may be added to the ink in a proportion of 0.1 to 30 ppm in total.
  • calcium and/or magnesium may preferably be contained in the ink in a total proportion of 0.1 to 30 ppm, preferably 0.2 to 20 ppm, more preferably 0.3 to 10 ppm.
  • such addition permits a further improvement of color yield.
  • Water which is an essential component of the liquid medium making up the ink used in the ink-jet printing process of the present invention is used within a range of from 30 to 90 % by weight, preferably from 40 to 90 % by weight, more preferably from 50 to 85 % by weight based on the total weight of the ink.
  • General organic solvents may also be used in combination with water as other components of the liquid medium for the ink.
  • Examples thereof may include ketones and keto-alcohols such as acetone and diacetone alcohol; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; addition polymers of oxyethylene or oxypropylene with diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and the like; alkylene glycols whose alkylene moiety has 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, butylene glycol and hexylene glycol; triols such as 1,2,6-hexanetriol; thiodiglycol; glycerol; lower alkyl ethers of polyhydric alcohols, such as ethylene glycol monomethyl (or monoethyl) ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl (or
